New Delhi, Nov 7 (PTI) A special court has ordered to proceed with the matter of framing charges against three Uttar Pradesh policemen who initially handled the rape case against ex-BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in 2017 for failing to record allegations of the minor victim against the leader, officials said.

The court recently rejected the petition of Kunwar Bahadur Singh, then posted as Circle Officer of Safipur in Unnao, seeking discharge from the case filed by the CBI.

The case was lodged under Section 166A of the Indian Penal Code, for not recording the victim’s complaint that she was raped by Sengar on June 4, 2017, they said.   Facing inaction even after her complaint to the Chief Minister’s Office remained unaddressed, the victim attempted to self-immolate in front of the chief minister’s residence in Lucknow on April 8, 2018, which snowballed into a major political issue in the state.
